Create a procedure eliminating distractions at central control when there is an emergency situation.

3. Set schedule for the next three years for emergency quarterly drills to be conducted wayside. Sequence station, then a tunnel section, then an elevated section (note tunnel and elevated sections shall be between stations). Please sequence each quarter in a separate jurisdiction. Coordinate type of drill and logistics with MTPD. (RTRA, Completion – 1/26/2015)

Plan four emergency training drills a year for the next three years in different locations throughout the system and for the various terrains – tunnels, platforms, etc.

9. Operational analysis of running trains at 45 MPH in the core with limited acceleration. (TIES and RTRA – 3/31/2015)

As Metro moves toward running longer trains, they need more power. Running Silver Line trains requires more power. So Metro will conduct tests to determine how fast they can run trains and still save energy.
